The American King is starring famous singer Akon alongside top Hollywood and Nollywood stars, Andrew Howard, Nick Moran, Nse Ikpe-Etim, Rahama Sadau, Alexx Ekubo, Enyinna Nwigwe and guess who?

Núñez Jr., Martin Dingle-Wall, Massi Furlan,Vanessa Giselle, Ella Kweku, Tommy Franklin, Nathin Butler, Myles Cranford, Jasmine Hester, Jack Campbell and DaShawn Barnes.
Akon plays a troublemaking American anointed by a mysterious High Priestess to fulfill a 400-year-old prophecy to become the new King of Africa. While he and his foolishly sophomoric buddies find themselves trying to adapt to the realities of being royalty, the US Government, including the President, takes a keen interest in exploiting the situation for their own benefit. Amidst the hijinks and lessons learned about the responsibilities that comes with being a leader, the story reveals its roots from the history and lessons of the 1619 Project. Racial and gender stereotypes, American politics, and more are addressed, lampooned, and satirized with no holds barred, and with the beauty and diversity of Africa as a backdrop.
The story is loosely based on the firsthand experience of writer and director Obekpa, a prince and former heir to his father's throne when King of the Idoma nation
